Five by Five are looking for a Strategy Director to join our team.

This is a great opportunity to lead and develop the strategy for some of our key accounts, to inspire our creative teams and our clients with your strategic thinking, and to help create work that delivers results.

If you're a strategic thinker with a creative edge and a passion for developing ground-breaking campaigns, we want to hear from you.

Role Info:
Strategy Director
London Office Base / Home Working 2 Days Per Week
£65,000 - £80,000
Plus Excellent Benefits Package
Full Time - Permanent

Your Skills: Strategic Planning, Creative Strategy, Social Media Strategy, Integrated Strategy, Marketing Communications, Advertising, Consumer Behaviour

About the job:

As Strategy Director, you will be an experienced creative strategist; someone with broad knowledge and experience of the full marketing and comms mix, you will be a big-picture thinker with a passion for creativity, capable of developing compelling strategies that inspire our creative teams and deliver results for our clients.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable developing strategy that will be delivered through traditional channels and who also believes in the power of influencer and social media to help brands to connect with their audiences.

You will need to be comfortable working proactively and collaboratively with clients, creative teams, our social and influencer team and client services. You embrace the full strategy cycle and are proficient in developing strategies and frameworks for growth and progress. You are someone who loves the craft of planning – getting to grips with consumers, culture and contextual influences on business – but equally entrepreneurial and comfortable identifying a better way to get to solutions quickly when required.

You're a challenger, a collaborator, adaptable and articulate with a get-it-done mentality. We like people who aren't so arrogant they think they know it all, but confident enough that together we can get to the best solutions.

About You:

+ 8+ year's experience in a strategic role within a creative agency
+ Proven track record of delivering successful strategies for major brands
+ Excellent communication and presentation skills
+ Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
+ Ability to think creatively and contribute to the development of creative ideas without overstepping creative team boundaries
+ Proficiency in various strategic disciplines including consumer behaviour, brand campaigns, influencer and social campaigns, communications planning, and customer experience
+ Able to lead the strategy on new business opportunities and pitches
+ Able to manage and mentor junior members of the team

What's in it for you?

We are offering a competitive salary and benefits package which includes 25 days holiday plus bank holiday entitlement with the opportunity to buy more. Private health care (medical history disregarded), health cash plan, pension scheme with rising employer contributions with length of service along with professional development opportunities, family friendly policies and even a free bar

Our flexible working policy means whilst you will have an office base in London that you work from Tuesday – Thursday you can choose where you work on a Monday and Friday, whether it is one of our offices, from home or another location.

If you believe you've got what it takes and want to work with some great people and amazing clients, we want to hear from you
